Salmonella Saintpaul Outbreak: Epilogue (Timeline of Events)

The above graph represents the illnesses reported in the recent Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak and the bacterial DNA "fingerprints" that were uploaded into the national pulsenet surveillance system. Please note (1) the marked time-lapse between onset of illnesses and report to pulsenet, (2) the short delay between the initial pulsenet signature and CDC notification, and (3) the drop in cases after the FDA issued the national tomato alert.
